The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul is a heartwarming
tale of five women whose lives cross paths in Afghanistan as the Taliban regime
strengthens. It is a heartwarming tale of friendship, love and courage as they
struggle to comprehend and fight against the political and cultural repression
of Afghani women.

It was a great story and a good read, one that reminded me of the
importance of friends, family, love and compassion. It was also a stark
reminder of the plight of women in Afghanistan who continue to suffer horrific
abuse and repression. From the very first page I was introduced to the main
storyline and the characters were so vividly developed that I felt
as if I knew them. The way their lives were interwoven throughout the story was
beautifully done. I think that most people would enjoy this book. Despite some
heavy themes, the book was easy to read and one that I wouldn’t ever have
considered putting down once I started reading it.
